Just the Hyper 212. It is really really fantastic for just $25-30. I can post my clock speed when I get home if you want. All I did was tell my bios to overclock me to whatever it thought I should. I run in the mid 60's for the most part.

Oooh, yes, please do. That's what I was looking at for my 2600k. (Also can you tell me your case dimensions, so I can check against mine?)

I certainly endorse the Hyper 212. It didn't get the highest reviews, but you can't beat the price. And the temperature drop was impressive from the stock 1090T cooler.

My case is a little over 6-3/4" from motherboard to side panel. The cooler is about 6-1/2 to the tops of the heat pipes.

Alright. According to CPU-Z I have a bus speed of 100.3 MHz, and a multiplier of 42x, for a core speed of 4214.1 MHz. I am running at an average of around 60 degrees Celsius for each core.

I don't know exact dimensions (I can measure if you want), but I have one in both an old Rosewill minitower case for my Phenom x4, and a newer HAF 932 for my 2500k. It is definitely a bit tall, but if you have a decent width case, it should work. It fits very comfortably in my 932, and incredibly snugly in my old minitower (literally, probably a quarter inch of clearance, if that).

It really does make a world of difference though. I highly recommend it. If you are going to air cool (or probably cool at all), I don't think you can get better performance per dollar.

Hmm. Mine is about 6.5 from the mobo, 6.8 from one side panel to the other. On the other hand, I also keep that side off.

So you get 60C at 4.2GHz 24/7 full load 2500k? Awesome.

Yup.

I ended up replacing the cooler on my old Phenom x4 because I think I was having heat related issues (not overclocked), as it was running in the 80s if I even ran mprime on two cores, and would crash if I brought up a worker on the third.

After installing the Hyper 212 I can run mprime on all four cores and be in the high 40s or lower 50s. I have since brought it back to three cores on that box, but only because I am running mfakto on the fourth to try and saturate my hd5870 (although mfakto actually takes much closer to two cores).
